Session Update:
The General Assembly returns today through Thursday, October 26th-28th, to pass Congressional district maps and possibly legislation dealing with the Parental Notice of Abortion Act (PNA).
Federal front:
I am including a few articles of interest.
The Hill reported Democrats are negotiating a range of competing health care priorities. Senator Sanders is pushing for expanding Medicare to include dental, vision and hearing benefits. Senator Clyburn is interested in expanding Medicaid for low-income people living in 12 GOP states.
The Hill reports Democrats are within striking distance of a long-sought deal expanding social safety net programs.
Interesting article re Medicare Advantage and software as a service.
